St Grwst's Church, Gothic parish church in Llanrwst, Wales
The stone building features a nave, chancel, north aisle, south porch, Gwydir Chapel, and a three-stage west tower with diagonal buttresses.
The church construction began in 1470, and Richard Wynn of Gwydir added the Gwydir Chapel between 1633 and 1634 to enhance the structure.
The interior displays a north arcade with octagonal piers and an ornate rood screen depicting the Instruments of the Passion through detailed carvings.
The building opens for Sunday services at 9:45 AM, offering both Welsh and English language options for worshippers from different backgrounds.
The Gwydir Chapel houses a stone sarcophagus connected to Llywelyn the Great, the last native Welsh Prince, among other historical monuments.
